Hi, my name is Linda, I am

fundraising for my "daughter"

Taylor.

In April, Taylor was diagnosed

with Stage 3 invasive ductal

carcinoma.

It was just two short months ago

that Taylor was having discomfort and noticed a lump in her

breast. She decided to make an

appointment right away with

her Doctor. Within a few days the Doctor performed an ultrasound. They didn't like what was seen,

so she was sent directly for a

mammogram and within a few

minutes of reading the results was scheduled for a biopsy. Needless to say within a few days she

received the devestating news.

For those of you that know Taylor, know that she is caring, fun

loving, loyal and most importantly the best Mom and wife to her 2

children, Andrew Jr - 7 & Giada - 2, husband Andrew.

Taylor has a long road ahead of

her. It's been 3 days since

undergoing her double

mastectomy/reconstructive

surgery along with removing

cancerous lymph nodes from

under her arm. Once her surgical recovery is complete she will then begin 2 types of chemotherapy

(back to back) then proceed

directly into radiation treatments and finally followed by 5-10 years of hormone therapy pills.

The funds raised on behalf of

Taylor will help cover medical bills the insurance doesn't. It will also help Taylor and Andrew with any household expenses, meals and

medication.

Taylor is so grateful for the love

and support that she has already

received from family and friends.
